Kazan-2 is an airport in Tatarstan, Russia once located 8 km northeast of Kazan centre, it is now surrounded by the city quarters. It is an old airfield, probably Kazan's major airport around the World War II era, and still has a few helicopters and Antonov An-2s.

Kazan-2 has been pulled down in 2004, to be replaced by an international hyppodrome. But the corresponding part of the city still carries its name 'Old Airport' (tat. İske Aeroport, rus. Старый Аэропорт).
